Qufu 曲阜

Most famous for being Confucious' place of abode. We visited the Temple of Confucius (孔庙) and his cemetery. To be perfectly honest, having been in China the past few months I feel that Confucius principles have probably diminished over the years, but nonetheless the man still commands significant importance.

Part of the expansive garden


Fancy joss sticks at the temple


Some engraving on a pillar - I think it says Spring 1915...


Confucius' tomb


Part of the wall
